KT-3 Impeller

Product catalog summary
Overview: The KT-3 impeller is a three-bladed impeller designed for chemical, industrial, and sanitary applications. It is specifically engineered for use in tanks with a dish or shallow cone bottom and a bottom outlet, aiming to minimize solids settling and prevent pump cavitation.
Design and Functionality: The KT-3 impeller creates an asymmetric wave pattern that swirls tank contents and sweeps solids towards the outlet, effectively reducing drainage times. While it does not suspend solids, it facilitates their movement towards the outlet, eliminating them from the tank bottom.
Key Features:
  • Low power consumption
  • Easily retrofittable
  • Removes nearly 100% of solids in dished vessels
Performance: The KT-3 impeller has been tested at various scales, showing significant results such as a 98.9% reduction in solids heel in one case. It is patented by Dow Chemical and exclusively sold by Lightnin.
Service and Support: SPX offers comprehensive services including equipment services, installation, maintenance, and asset management. For immediate assistance, a 24-hour response service is available.
Contact Information: For more details or to discuss applications, contact your local SPX Sales Representative or visit the SPX website. A comparison video is available on YouTube for further insights.

KT-3 Impeller-1

The KT-3 impeller is a three bladed impeller specifically designed for use as a close clearance lower impeller in a dish or shallow cone bottomed tank with a bottom outlet. The KT3 impeller minimizes solids settling and prevents cavitation of the pump suction by swirling the tank contents and sweeping solids towards the outlet. This asymetric “wave” pattern in the bottom dish also shortens drainage times by keeping the product flowing into the pump. The KT-3 does not “suspend” solids. However, this wave action constantly sweeps the bottom of the dish allowing for solids to move downward towards the outlet. Its main purpose is to eliminate solids from the tank bottom. • Low power consumption • Easily retrofitable • Removes most (~100%) of solids in
